Notes
'Repens Aurea' English yew (Taxus baccata 'Repens Aurea') is an evergreen shrub for borders, hedges, ground cover, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 24 to 47 inches tall and spreads wide, so give it room. Birds visit it.
Pairs well with Globosa Colorado spruce, Filifera Aurea sawara cypress, Royal Purple smoketree, and Japanese forest grass.
